Those cubicle-shaped rooms in those buildings look like books and the whole building looks like a bookshelf. Those rooms representing knowledge. Wings are the focal point in this picture because that is the end result, which is freedom. And with that freedom that person holds endless opportunities (sky is the limit).
The Cuypers library in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is one of the reasons to visit the museum. I really like the atmosphere...
This image is not SOOC. No, it needed a lot of TLC to come out like this. It is a 5 imagepanorama with 5 exposure-brackets brought together in Photoshop.
But you may like it as it is.
Mystery solved! I've been trying to get to know my new home area, and on one of my numerous recce trips had passed this farmyard out at Newton of Ardtoe, and wondered why there was an ex RAF SEAKING search and rescue helicopter residing next to a cattle shed. In the absence of anyone around I was left wondering until today when a local, liberally spattered in cow sh!t came out of a nearby house with his wife, and I was able to ask him. Well Gordon told me it had been bought by a local fisherman who had a vision to convert it into a snack shack or an AirBnB. Ah yes, what a good idea....and then it transpired this was not just any local fisherman but one who lives 20 yards over my garden fence. Thankfully, I know there is no room near us to move a redundant ex RAF SEAKING search and rescue helicopter to, but said neighbour does not have the best reputation in these parts for maintaining the peace. Quite how it landed in the back o'beyond remains a mystery. These things are BIG!. But I'm discovering there are many colourful locals in these parts and strange things do happen.
You should never underestimate farmers and fishermen in these parts. Next to the helicopter the farmer is building his own SpaceX Mars rocket rival

A collection of books gathers dust. Part of a library in an abandoned manor house in the UK. A time capsule of Victorian and early 20th century artefacts.
Two lesser sandhill cranes in synchronized flight above California’s Central Valley.
Sandhill cranes always excite me. Aside from backyard birds like robins, they are the first birds that intrigued me — years ago when I read about them in Leopold’s “A Sand County Almanac” for a college class. Although I had not ever seen the birds, to the best of my knowledge, something ab out Leopold’s description stuck with me. Years later I was thrilled to find that they are abundant in parts of California. I had not realized this, and it was an accidentally “discovery” made back when I started to photograph geese.
Given that geese first brought me to the places where the cranes are found, the difference between their habits and those of the geese caught my attention. While geese often assemble noisily in flocks containing thousands of birds, most cranes stick to somewhat smaller groups. (Though there are exceptions.) While geese flocks often take to the air in huge numbers, most of the time I see cranes in groups of a dozen or less. Their pattern of flight usually (though, again, there are exceptions) features slower wing motion and often extensive periods of gliding. I photographed this pair flying above me in the very early morning light.

THE HUMBLE FROG, 2015
Mild steel & stainless steel
“The frog is the traditional carrier of sound, whose powerful voice sings the stories and songs of his people. Given his position of importance, it would be tempting for the frog to lose sight of his humility; however, in the frog is a sensitive and fragile creature. Humility serves as a reminder to stay humble and thoughtful of our place in this world.

Up to week three in RogueOlympics and this time the prompt was “Volume”. I went with the literary definition, “a book forming part of a work or series,” building this old library scene. 101 parts used.
Parts overview available on Brickbuilt.
At least, that is the motto seen here over a side entrance to the old main building of Hamburg University. It is not that old, only dating from 1911. And it did not start as a university (that happened in 1919, in the Weimar Republic) but a "Kolonialinstitut". Germany before 1918 did have colonies. Knowledge as an instrument of power gets a totally new meaning then. But even later, when being a university, this academic institution was rather particular where its knowledge ought to be invested. For the Jews they did not cry when thousands were assembled next door virtually, at the Moorweide, and deported to their death. Knowledge? Yes. But whose knowledge, whose power? Fuji X-Pro1.
A visit to the Library of Congress and all its wonders. You can take the kid out of the library but you cannot take the knowledge learned out of the kid.

Rome, Italy (March, 2008)
When photographing the Paul Sabatier University library (Toulouse, France), I wanted to capture the geometric essence of this modernist architecture. I deliberately chose a diagonal framing to create strong visual tension and transform this familiar building into an almost abstract composition. The black and white treatment allowed me to emphasize the contrast between dark and light surfaces, while highlighting the repetitive patterns of windows and panels. I was seeking a clean image where lines and shapes become the main subject, moving beyond mere architectural representation to reach a more graphic and contemplative dimension. This photo tells the story of my fascination with how modern architecture can be reinterpreted through a minimalist lens.
